The Aquarium of the Pacific invites parents and their young ones to discover the ocean with the Aquatot program. Children ages two to three accompanied by an adult can interact in a fun and dynamic learning environment at the Aquarium. Make crafts, take a guided tour, and explore the animals in the classroom touch pool in an Aquatots class. These classes are designed for parents and their children to explore the ocean world together. The next program will explore shoreline shapes. Parents and educators will interact and teach children about shapes, from the round eye of a whale to the spiral on a snail shell.
Saturday Family Fun is for children ages four to six years old and their parents, another in the Aquarium’s series of “parent and me” classes. Parents and their children can interact together and delve into the ocean world. Take guided tours of exhibits and explore the realm of sea life with your family. Upcoming topics include marine mammals—participants will explore the lives of seals, sea lions, and sea otters. Discover the differences between seals and sea lions, touch sea otter fur, and pretend to eat like a baleen whale.
